Difficulties during Phase 3 of the HCG Diet

Phase 3 of the HCG Diet is the very time for you to start introducing back varieties of foods into your diet. However, you don’t want to do everything so fast. You must take things slow; a step at a time or else you might encounter some difficulties causing you to gain weight as you go through your next phase. Here are some top difficulties dieters might encounter as they go through the maintenance phase.

Feeling Full

You might struggle to consume the 700 calories during your first few days with phase 3 of the HCG Diet because your body is used with only consuming 500 calories a day. Eating the whole 700 calories will make you feel bloated and stuffed. But then remember this is perfectly normal. What you can do is to consume the required amount of calories so you can continue to successfully follow the HCG Diet protocol.

Over Consuming and Overwhelming

Some dieters find Phase 3 of the HCG Diet very overwhelming that they wanted to consume as many varieties of foods as they can and they want to do it quickly. However, this practice won’t do any good to your body. They are practically gorging! Gorging during this phase will only cause your weight to increase rapidly. Everything that you have worked hard during the previous phases will practically be forfeited. My advice- abstains from such a lifestyle alteration. Don’t let yourself get off and on the HCG Diet train just because you screw up. When you screw up once don’t do it again. What to do if you’ll gain weight? You can consider doing the steak day.

Carb Additions

When doing this phase, be extremely cautious with your carbs choices like bread, potatoes, pastries and rice. One slip with your carb can cause a dramatic change in your weight. Carbs are addictive. Once you start introducing them back into your body, you will crave for even more.

What to do to pass through Phase 3 of the HCG Diet without difficulty?

  • Do not eat any starches and sugars during Phase 3.
  • Pay attention to calories
  • Introduce all foods gradually
  • Cut-out whatever food is causing you to gain weight.
  • Introduce only a tiny bit of fats, dairy and nuts.
  • Keep your weight always within the two-pound range after your last day weight.

Phase 3 of the HCG Diet is the final leg of your diet journey. Just stay focus and you will take control of your weight.

 

Getting Back on Track after a Holiday

Diet slips are a normal part of any lifestyle change. Diet slips won’t really hurt your progress over what you have been working out for so long but how you react to the diet slip can. How you negatively react with the slip can leave you feeling down and discouraged.

Not only non-dieters face diet slip. Even successful HCG dieters face weight gain, especially over the holiday season. But with renewed dedication, you can stop the scale from creeping further and get back.

Tips to help you get back on track with the HCG Diet:

  1. Don’t let holiday overeating extend one day longer. Get back on track right after the holiday. If you only took less than 10 days off the HCG diet, you can get back on the HCG diet without reloading. However, if you took more than 2 weeks off the diet, you have to reload. Getting back right away on track will limit your weight gain.
  2. Eat smarter instead of committing yourself to a very strict diet. Start with resolving to eat less and NO fast food. Make a smart substitution by substituting your sugary intake with nutritious low-calorie alternatives like fruits and veggies. Completely cut-out your soda intake and substitute it with tea or lemonade. Sodas are a major source of empty calories.
  3. Renew your commitment to healthy eating and weight loss by increasing your exercise time while you are decreasing your calorie intake. If you live in an area with a mild winter, biking to work is a good way to help you lose some of those weights. Instead of using the elevators, use the stair. Walking is a great way to lose weight. Walking can make a huge difference when it comes to maintaining a healthy weight and overall heart health.
  4. Carefully plan every meal. Up your protein by eating more lean meats. Proteins prolong the feeling of fullness than carbohydrates or fats. Stick to low-fat protein like low-fat yogurt or cottage cheese. Emphasize fruits and vegetables. Fruits can increase the amount of fiber in your diet. Fruits will clean your body of those simple carbohydrates and heavy fats.
  5. Zero in your food triggers. Eating some of your trigger food at one meal will not do great damage but taking them home to eat for days could.

Review your diet success before the holidays. Return to your healthy eating habits without hesitations.

 

Foods to Avoid During Phase 3 of the HCG Diet and Some Tips

Phase 3 of the HCG Diet is the most critical and difficult part of the diet.  As you finished with the 500 calorie diet a day you begin to add food back into your diet. However, this is where most dieters slip up. This is where dieters revert back their old unhealthy eating habits. So, if you have successfully made it with the Phase 2 without any cheating, you also need to be very vigilant about how much you eat and what you eat during this phase just like during the very low calorie phase.

Below are some tips and foods to avoid during Phase 3 of the HCG Diet.

  1. DO stick with the Phase 2 foods if you are not sure what to eat during Phase 3. Slowly increase your portion size and your daily calorie intake.

DO NOT add a large amount of foods back into your diet right away.

  • DO take account of what you eat every day and DO document your daily weight. This will help you determine what foods to eliminate that cause you to gain weight.
  • DO make a list of all the foods that you know won’t make you gain weight. You already have a great starting point because of the list of P2 foods that you can build from. We have a great list of HCG Diet approved Phase 3 foods here. But remember, every person’s metabolism differs. There are a lot of natural foods out there that you may be able to eat without even gaining any weight.
  • Protein is the key for Phase 3 of the HCG Diet. DO eat as many high-proteins as you can. DO NOT consume foods that are high in sugar and carbohydrates. Do stay away too from processed foods. It will help you in your long-term weight loss and overall health.
  • DO make sure that you get enough fibers on your diet. As much as possible, consume at least 30 grams of fiber-rich foods every day.
  • DO NOT consume foods labeled as “low-fat” or “fat-free”. They are likely to have more carbs and sugar in them.
  • DO NOT freak out if you make mistakes. If you have gained more than 2 pounds you have the steak day to help you get back on track.
  • DO start to add some exercise to your daily routine. However, DO NOT make rigorous exercise. Start with light walking then slowly start to increase.
  • To help you maintain your weight loss easier, DO drink hot lemonade in the morning.
  •  Good snacks in the morning are grilled chicken strips, hard-boiled egg and protein shakes and bars.

 

The BEFORE and DURING Tips for Phase 3 of the HCG Diet

Phase 3 of the HCG Diet is not all about losing weight. It is NOT a weight loss phase. Some dieters are still trying to lose weight during this phase and this is a very common mistake.  They start exercising too much or they will keep eating the 500 calories per day. To their disappointment, they only feel tired and fatigued. According to Dr. Simeons, trying to lose weight in this phase could be dangerous. You are actually burning your structural fats and not the abnormal fats. Your weight might go down to a pound on some days but this is because your weight is still unstable during this time. The main goal why you are doing phase 3 is to stabilize your weight. Here are some few tips on how to do the Phase 3 of the HCG Diet:

BEFORE starting Phase 3:

  • Prepare yourself fully for this phase. Read all the information that you need about phase 3.
  • Make a list of ALL the P3 foods and all the foods that you need to avoid while doing phase 3.
  • Keep track of your weight every day especially your last day weight.

DURING Phase 3:

  • Stick to the full 21 days. According to Dr. Simeons, it’s not only your body that is needed to be stabilized for 21 days. Your brain’s hypothalamus also needs time to reset. If you will not complete the 21 days protocol, you may find it hard to keep your weight off for good.
  • With NO exception, weight yourself every day. Keeping track of your weight is as important as the type of foods you choose. The goal of weighing every day is to make corrections if ever there is a fluctuation on your weight.
  • Keep your weight within the 2 pounds range. If you happen to keep it within the range, no changes are necessary. However, if your weight goes beyond the 2-pound range, you must right away do the “steak day”.
  • Track everything that you eat. Look out for foods that can make you gain weight.
  • Keep track of your calories. This will help you learn what foods you can eat and how much foods you can eat to maintain your weight in the long run.
  • Add one food at a time.
  • When eating out, ask good questions. Ask about the ingredients that they have used like glazing their steak with butter and sugar.

 

How to Take a Break on a Holiday Season with HCG Diet

It is the time of the year that dieting becomes difficult for most even with HCG Diet. The only safest way to deviate from HCG Diet during this holiday season without getting additional weight is to do a planned break. Now, how are you going to take a break during this holiday season? How do you plan to cheat while on the HCG Diet?

From Dr. Simeon’s book “Pounds and Inches”- “If an interruption of treatment lasting more than four days is necessary, the patient must increase his diet to at least 800 calories by adding meat, eggs, cheese, and milk to his diet after that third day, as otherwise he will find himself so hungry and weak that he is unable to go about his usual occupation”.

What this means is that if you don’t want to do HCG Diet on holiday season like thanksgiving and Christmas, then you need to take a short break.

Here’s how…

  1. Get off from the HCG the way you normally would.
  2. Stop using the HCG hormone while you continue eating only 500 calories a day of HCG Diet approved phase 2 food for 72 hours or 3 days. This period is also known as the transition period. The 72 hours period start right away after the last dose of HCG.
  3. Increase your calories intake to at least 800
  4. While you are on HCG Diet break, eat only foods that are high in protein and low in carbs. Eat using the phase 3 style. This time you can include foods that’s rich in fats while you avoid all sugars and starches. Decide when you are going to get back on the HCG diet again.
  5. The HCG Diet break can last up to 10 days.
  6. If you plan to do the break in less than 10 days, you can get back on the diet without reloading. Continue the diet as normal. Simply have your daily hcg injections and resume with your 500 calories diet again. However, if you plan to have a longer break then you should reload if you want to go back to dieting again.

Dieting isn’t easy. If you don’t have to cheat then don’t but if you really have to cheat then take a short break. After the break, try to recover and get back on the HCG Diet as soon as possible.
